Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.

Equation Form:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
y-(8*x+7)=0
Equation of a Straight Line
Solve y-8x-7 = 0
"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.'
n this formula :
y tells us how far up the line goes
x tells us how far along
m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is
b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis
The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line y-8x-7 = 0 and calculate its properties
Graph of a Straight Line :
Calculate the Y-Intercept :
Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 7/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 7.00000
y-intercept = 7/1 = 7.00000
Calculate the X-Intercept :
When y = 0 the value of x is 7/-8 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-0.87500
x-intercept = 7/-8 = -0.87500
Calculate the Slope :
Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 7.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 23.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 23.000 - 7.000 = 16.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)
Slope = 16.000/2.000 = 8.000
Geometric figure: Straight Line
Slope = 16.000/2.000 = 8.000
x-intercept = 7/-8 = -0.87500
y-intercept = 7/1 = 7.00000
Pull out like factors :
-x2 - 5x - 7 = -1 • (x2 + 5x + 7)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.2 Factoring x2 + 5x + 7
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +5x its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is +7
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 7 = 7
Step-2 : Find two factors of 7 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .
-7 + -1 = -8
-1 + -7 = -8
1 + 7 = 8
7 + 1 = 8
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Find the Vertex of y = -x2-5x-7
Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex . Our parabola opens down and accordingly has a highest point (AKA absolute maximum) . We know this even before plotting "y" because the coefficient of the first term, -1 , is negative (smaller than zero).
Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.
Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.
For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is -2.5000
Plugging into the parabola formula -2.5000 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = -1.0 * -2.50 * -2.50 - 5.0 * -2.50 - 7.0
or y = -0.750
Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :
Root plot for : y = -x2-5x-7
Axis of Symmetry (dashed) {x}={-2.50}
Vertex at {x,y} = {-2.50,-0.75}
Function has no real roots
Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square
3.2 Solving -x2-5x-7 = 0 by Completing The Square .
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) to obtain positive coefficient for the first term:
x2+5x+7 = 0 Subtract 7 from both side of the equation :
x2+5x = -7
Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of x , which is 5 , divide by two, giving 5/2 , and finally square it giving 25/4
Add 25/4 to both sides of the equation :
On the right hand side we have :
-7 + 25/4 or, (-7/1)+(25/4)
The common denominator of the two fractions is 4 Adding (-28/4)+(25/4) gives -3/4
So adding to both sides we finally get :
x2+5x+(25/4) = -3/4
Adding 25/4 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :
x2+5x+(25/4) =
(x+(5/2)) • (x+(5/2)) =
(x+(5/2))2
Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since
x2+5x+(25/4) = -3/4 and
x2+5x+(25/4) = (x+(5/2))2
then, according to the law of transitivity,
(x+(5/2))2 = -3/4
We'll refer to this Equation as Eq. #3.2.1
The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.
Note that the square root of
(x+(5/2))2 is
(x+(5/2))2/2 =
(x+(5/2))1 =
x+(5/2)
